Queens­land ti­tles on this week­end

KART driv­ers from the Whit­sun­day Moto Sports Club will take on Queens­land’s best this week­end as the club hosts the Queens­land Kart­ing Closed ti­tles at the Whit­sun­day Race­way.

The event has re­ceived more than 100 nom­i­na­tions and will fea­ture rac­ing and qual­i­fy­ing from 9am on Satur­day and rac­ing from 9am on Sun­day.

Kart­ing club pres­i­dent Adam Stroud said doors would be open from 6am-6pm both days and there will be a li­censed bar, cold drinks and hot food avail­able as well as a jumping cas­tle for the kids.

En­try is only a gold coin do­na­tion and it prom­ises to be a great week­end of high-oc­tane rac­ing.

“We’ve got karters com­ing from right across Queens­land, as far south as Bris­bane, north to Cairns, and a good con­tin­gent from rid­ers from out west,” he said.

“There will be driv­ers from all ages from the re­ally young kids right up to the old fel­las.”

Rac­ing will take place through­out the week­end in 16 dif­fer­ent classes and the fi­nals and pre­sen­ta­tions will take place on Sun­day af­ter­noon.
